Still pending on the Senate side is legislation by the Finance Committee to pay for the next highway program.

In the House, Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has said he intends to have a proposal ready by summer. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee has suggested corporate tax reform as a source of funding but hearings have not been scheduled.

The current highway program ends September 30, although funding will dry up in late July or early August unless Congress finds a way to replenish the Highway Trust Fund.
